bush's foreign policy. he writes even more important, though he could be tough in a political fight, he was in it for the right reasons. people always came before politics, patriotism before partisanship. to the end we knew we would never agree on everything, and we agreed that was okay. honest debate strengthens democracy. andrea mitchell told me about 20 minutes ago she thinks history will judge george h.w. bush well despite these very clear failings that he had. >> i think andrea is right. i think his rrd ecord on foreig policy was so outstanding. he brought the cold war to a conclusion in a way that made it look almost like a magic trick. here we had a generation of the most bitter rivalry, and president bush saw that the soviet union was coming down. the berlin wall was falling. he had the guts to push for the reunification of germany. he wasn't initially confident that was the right thing to do. it consolidated this process of change. there was no going back. he did it in a tough-minded way, advised b

but the fbi was in october wiretapping trump foreign policy adviser carter page. that is in october before the election. that is when they got the fisa warrant to surveil carter page. there was surveillance of trump's ex-campaign aid starting in october. but if that's what was the truth behind that effort to try to create some national security scandal around it, i think it worked for a couple weeks while people were upset about this allegation from the president that president obama had his wires tapped and erg everything. it was very distracting. that lasted for a couple weeks before everything realized it was nonsense. then a couple weeks later, they tried to e reup it. a couple weeks after the obama wiretapped me stuff, march 201, it wassen devin nunes, breathing hard, sweating, visibly upset saying he received from a whistleblower terrible information about people from the trump campaign being monitored in foreign surveillance. this was such damn asking terrible information. he said sorry he had to go. he had to rush to the white house to brief the president

but in particularly foreign policy after the push years. and you are seeing folks like rand paul really rev up people who are advocating a less aggressive foreign policy as they try to broaden their appeal to younger voters. people not in line with the iraq war. there's a large segment of the party, still, particularly in congress that support a more aggressive foreign policy. people who are much more hawkish. they dominate the senate republican conference. the chain knees are filling the vacuum. there aren't a lot of people who can generate that headline and get -- have the megaphone that the former vice president has. so in some regards, there are people who are happy that they're back. there are people on the more aggressive side, the more hawkish wing of the republican party. they like him being back in the fold to take on the people like rand paul who are challenging their point of view. >> i guess so, dana. is it hawkishness still there. there's a good portion of the party that have interest in what cheney is saying. in recent times,

romney's foreign policy is a moving target. that is a general saying from a military perspective almost exactly what the president said, that this man is all over the map and as steady as a drunk on new year's eve. >> the military men and women, as you know, do like a certain precision, and you get none from governor romney. but general powell is absolutely right. when you look at what romney was saying about iran, for example, before the debate versus what he said during the debate. during the debate he wants peace. he sounded buddhist almost in his desire for peace around the world. yet his rhetoric leading up to that, in fact, his rhetoric for years has been so bellicose. giving the green light to the israelis for a strike whenever they like against iran, just one example of this more belligerent attitu attitude. >> by the way, just to pick up on that, one thing he unveiled in the debate was this idea of prosecuting ahmadinejad, the iranian leader. >> for genocide. >> this from a party that doesn't believe in the internation
